Welcome to the 27th anniversary issue of NUVO. Today, we celebrate the anniversary of our first issue, which hit stands in Indianapolis in March of 1990. Since the beginning, NUVO has been completely free. To encourage us, we even have a lighted sign in our office that reads “knowledge is free.” So, it is with caution and careful consideration that we roll out today an option to become a paid member of NUVO. We live in a time of “fake news,” the balkanization of media and social media insulating us from competing viewpoints. Getting to the truth is difficult and expensive — and we need good journalism now more than ever to ensure a healthy democracy. But trends such as ad blockers, programmatic advertising and the decline of print advertising make it imperative that we diversify our revenue streams, and are some of the reasons why we are turning to you for your support. This request does not come without significant benefits. Our membership program is part of a larger strategy to make our content even more independent of outside influences. And, by becoming a member, we get to know you better and become more aligned with your interests. Our best response to the distrust of media is to become even more transparent. By knowing our biases, you can decide if you want to invest in us. We can all disagree on the solutions to the issues of the day, but at least you will know where we are coming from in our story selections.
Most of our values center around protecting the Constitution: We value an informed public to support our democracy. Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Equality before the law. Justice for victims of the abuse of power. A right to clean air, water and food. Sustainable environmental stewardship based upon science. Government that is fair, transparent and efficient. An arts community that is diverse and robust. Access to quality and affordable food, housing and education. Reason as our most reliable guide, with the support of facts and science. If you share these values, then now is the time to support good journalism. Today, we launch a brand new NUVO.net, a nimble and mobile-friendly site. In the Support Us tab, you’ll find details about our new membership program. We hope you join us. From all of us, thank you. Kevin McKinney Publisher and Founder

MARI EVANS, 1923-2017 BY DAVID HOPPE // HOPPE@NUVO.NET
I
met Mari Evans in 1988, during my first summer in Indianapolis. It was particularly hot that summer, a history-making drought. I remember how the sun flattened everything along Central Avenue; there were times the unwavering intensity of it could be nerve-wracking. I came to the city to work for the Indiana Humanities Council. My first job there was to edit a book of essays about Indiana and, for that, I needed Indiana writers. Someone suggested I call Ms. Evans. I remember our first meeting — the first of too many to count over the ensuing years. Mari wore a silken headscarf that seemed to make her impervious to the heat. She was wary and alert, but willing to give our project a chance. Most of all, she was regal. Her essay would turn out to be the most memorable in a collection called Where We Live. Its title, “Ethos and Creativity: The Impulse As Malleable,” was like a major chord, Mari’s way of announcing the seriousness of what she had to say. But if this title seemed a tad academic, what followed was searing, an unflinching takedown of the braiding of race and power in Indianapolis that was, at once, a cry of the heart and mind. Mari took pains with that piece. Writing, for her, was inseparable from community. Putting things into words, testimony, was how people laid claim to memory and conscience. For some, it was the only dignity they would ever know. I think she thought that this publication might be a chance for her to reach a somewhat different audience — a whiter audience — than usual. She had a story to
tell, but didn’t want to pull any punches. Read that essay today, almost 30 years later, and you’ll think you’re reading from the latest news. So many of Mari’s themes are still with us: the ways, violent and subtle, that race divides our society, the impoverishment of cross-cultural communication, the toll this takes on children and, especially, our delusional capacity to accept abuses of power in everyday life as natural. “What we find is that racism, in this up-South city at the end of the twentieth century, is like a steel strand encased in nylon then covered in some luxurious fabric,” wrote Mari. “The intent is to avoid, if possible, blatant offenses, to soothe, mollify, if necessary dissemble — while racism, the steel strand, still effectively does the job.” That job was the perpetuation of power by and among a certain class. For Mari, this domination was not merely inflicted by one group of people on another. As she wrote in her poem, “If There Be Sorrow,” we do it to ourselves through the withholding and restraining of love. I can tell you stories about Mari Evans. The way she’d watch the interactions between parents and their kids in restaurants if she got a whiff of abuse. How she insisted on staying in her home in one of the city’s toughest neighborhoods — and kept a .38 in the kitchen. The who’s who of African-American intellectual and artistic royalty — this country’s true counter-culture — in which she travelled. Her love of sweet salads. Mari was my Indianapolis. She always will be. N For more opinion pieces visit nuvo.net/voices

THE TREES ARE SAVED
Protestors stood to protect Crown Hill North Woods... and won BY AMBER STEARNS // ASTEARNS@NUVO.NET
A
bout a dozen people were prepared to brave the snow and the cold to prevent construction crews from destroying the old growth forest in Crown Hill cemetery on Monday. Fortunately, the group only had to brave the elements for a few hours. An IMPD officer notified the group’s attorney, Russ Sipes, that a work order to stop construction at the site had been issued. A little bit of digging revealed that the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) issued the stop order until further notice. The National Cemetery Administration, a division of the DVA, will also re-open dialogue with the community at-large about the project. The news came as the cold turned wet from the forecasted snow finally arriving in Indianapolis. The band of citizens — dedicated to standing in the way of construction crews — was prepared to stay until they were removed. Indianapolis city-county councilor Zach Adamson was among them — armed with a megaphone and materials to make any potential arrests a little difficult. “We are attached to each other in the pipe,” Adamson said at the scene, his arm elbow deep in a 4-inch PVC pipe. “ It makes it harder for us to be separated. It’s called a ‘sleeping dragon.’ We aren’t going to resist, but we aren’t going to make it easy either.” Sleeping dragons connected another pair of protesters. A 15-year-old boy scaled a tree to make his stand — about 30 feet in the air. Veterans carried American flags and signs with the phone number to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The group was fully prepared to be arrested for their civil disobedience. Local law enforcement was prepared as well. Between two to four police cruis-

ers stayed within sight of the protest area at all times. All officers remained in their cars and observed from a distance. Around the corner in the Christian Theological Seminary parking lot, IMPD set up their staging area with the S.W.A.T. mobile command center and up to 10 additional officers at the ready. Russ Sipes was also on site, interacting with police and establishing a peaceful resistance atmosphere. If anyone was going to make a “scene,” it was not going to be the protesters. Friends made coffee runs to provide some warmth. A neighbor who lived just a few houses away from the protest brought hot water, tea and tissues, and she offered her home to anyone who needed a restroom. Another concerned citizen stood with a trash bag at the ready to make sure what all believe to be sacred ground stayed clean. Sipes delivered the news of the stop order to the protesters after confirming the information delivered to him by law enforcement. “This morning, the National Cemetery Administration decided to issue a stop work order,” Sipes told them. “It is not just for today, it’s until further notice and

they’ve been instructed to open more dialogue with the protesters and the people of the community. … You guys did this.” Adamson reflected on the experience, still pleasantly surprised with the positive outcome. “I’m so fortunate to have been able to participate in that event that due to live streaming everyone could share with us as it happened we all witnessed the bending of federal bureaucracy because 11 people stood up and countless others reacted to that by calling and emailing the VA,” Adamson wrote on Facebook on Monday evening. “Even though, I’m still amazed this has worked. All of us who took steps, be it out in the cold or at home emailing the VA, made something rare happen yesterday. We made happen in 10 hours, what 10 months of ‘the proper channels’ did not do.” Protesters are aware that this is just a victory in battle and not in the war. But there is hope that with communication lines reopened, their pleas will finally be heard by the DVA and all alternatives will be explored. Mayor Joe Hogsett had expressed his desire to see the land established as a park for the community to enjoy. And the purchase offer from the Dr. Laura Hare Charitable Trust remains on the table. N

saler) for many years. Funk, who died in 2013, was an exceptionally talented printmaker. His work on display in Pulp is entitled “Hajj,” an expressively colorful lithograph that he completed in 1988, depicting a young woman. “I’ve known about his print forever going back many years,” explains Ruschman. “And when I had an opportunity to acquire a piece from his family as a donation after he passed away this is the piece I chose. I just think that it’s a wonderful piece. It speaks so much to his working process.”
For Ruschman, being able to write Funk’s statement was “up close and personal.” And so he found the curating of this exhibition, particularly after last year’s mammoth 200 years of Indiana Art show at the museum incorporating 150 works. In contrast to that show — which Ruschman also curated — each of the 26 works on display in this exhibition has more breathing room. Accordingly, patrons can spend a little more time, if they so desire, to explore each piece. “I have a love of works on paper, it doesn’t matter what the technique is,” Ruschman says. “As a lot of these artists say, I love the feel of the paper, I love everything about it.” N

BATSHIT //
BY LISA GAUTHIER MITCHISON // ARTS@NUVO.NET
T
he opening weekend of IndyFringe’s DivaFest 2017 was packed with passionate artists producing works that challenge audiences to evaluate their points of view. The festival showcases only female identifying playwrights. For more reviews go to nuvo.net.
BATSHIT was written by Brooke Eden, directed by Miranda Swan and performed by Brooke Eden. WHAT IS GOOD: Twenty-year-old Eden has both good and bad luck. She suffers from panic disorder and depression. But karma picked up the bill by allowing her to come to terms with her issues now instead of 15 or 20 years later, after they did irreparable damage to her life. In her one-woman show, Eden confesses
to her own “batshit” craziness and to just how low she got before seeking help in college. She tackles the incredibly personal monologue with often self-deprecating humor, reveling in the convoluted events of her life that brought her to this point. Some stories are comical and some are sad, and she can turn a smart phrase. She’s genuine and relatable, and infinitely brave for sharing her story. WHAT NEEDS WORK: The performance’s timelines and subjects sometimes feel disjointed. It’s a little rough, but I am betting it’s a work in progress. Also, moving the stool around the stage is distracting and unnecessary. I’d love to see some media added, such as music and photos that pertain to the topics. NEXT SHOWING: March 18, 9 p.m.
ON THE POLE was written and produced by Nicole Kearney, directed by Dena Toler and performed by Banza Townsend, Andrea P. Wilson, Chandra Lynch, Brittany Taylor, and Jamaal McCray.
EVENT // W. Kamau Bell Ending Racism in About an Hour WHERE // Clowes Memorial Hall TICKETS // FREE
WHAT IS GOOD: On the Pole examines the circumstances and repercussions for four women who work in a strip club. Each one represents a different perspective: the housemother, who has been in the industry practically her whole life; the teen-age newbie, who sees this as a welcome opportunity to get off the streets; the proud career dancer; and the short-timer, who is saving for college. It’s a fascinating behindthe-scenes of rarely told stories. The catty comments are set to high, and each actress effectively embodies her character’s temperament. But Wilson as Mimi is the most eye-catching; she drips sexuality the entire 60 minutes of the production. Well-curated props add vibrancy to the black-box stage. WHAT NEEDS WORK: The characters are depicted with a wide brush, but it’s hard to write effective character development into a short. The ending was a little abrupt; a more resolute conclusion would be satisfying. NEXT SHOWING: March 17, 9 p.m. N

MAGIC AND MADNESS
Butler, Purdue, Notre Dame look to make run to NCAA Championship BY BRIAN WEISS // BWEISS@NUVO.NET
I
n 11 other months, it’s just college basketball. But this is March. The 2017 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament officially began Tuesday with the First Four games. But here at NUVO, we unofficially still recognize the the first-round games as the signal of the start of the craziest two and a half weeks of the college basketball season. March is the month every athlete, coach, analyst and basketball fan circles. It’s the month people use sick days to stay at home and watch games on as many screens as they can possibly find. It’s the month others
keep their head on a swivel ready to push the “Boss Button” on their work laptops. (For the uninitiated, the boss button replaces your game stream with a mock Excel spreadsheet.) It’s Madness. March Madness. Hell, the NCAA trademarked the term because of its popularity. In the next few pages we’ll briefly break down each of the 10 Division I Hoosier teams’ seasons and look at the chances Butler, Purdue and Notre Dame will cut down the net in Phoenix on April 3. Winning six consecutive games against the best teams from around the country is a lot tougher
than it sounds — just ask Butler, who came up one game short in 2010 and 2011. We’ve also included a big empty bracket for you to fill out, and so you can follow along throughout the madness. Whether you pick winners based on team colors (shoutout to my mom), extensive statistical research not seen since your high school cramming days or simply throw a dart at the bracket, take a deep breath, grab your lucky pen, and get picking. Because how are you going to brag to your boss that your bracket was so good you deserve an extra vacation day if you don’t have a physical copy of it?
Haven’t been paying attention to Hoosier teams during the run-up to the best month of basketball? You’re lucky: I have. That’s right. You can benefit from my obsessive game-watching with this breakdown of odds – plus a sad history of season-ending injuries – in our March Madness preview. I’m personally betting on a Duke vs. UCLA championship. Now excuse me while I get my boss to cover my cable bill as “research expenditures” and to approve my day-off requests for the next two and a half weeks. P.S. Your odds of selecting a perfect bracket are 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808. Good luck. NUVO.NET // 03.15.17 - 03.22.17 // THE BIG STORY // 11

fter attending an advance screening of Disney’s mostly-live-action version of Beauty and the Beast last night, I stayed up late watching the 1991 original cartoon, and noticed a few differences between the two. The original version is more fun. The original version has more heart. The original version is snappier. And the new version is unnecessary. I’ve got no problem with remakes. I understand the lure of money. Disney’s mostly-live-action versions of Alice in Wonderland (and its sequel), Cinderella, and The Jungle Book made loads of money. As long as the remake is at least good, I’m happy. The sumptuous Beauty ‘17 hits the “at least good” mark. But the original is a great movie and it’s hard to forget that. Director Bill Condon (Chicago, Dreamgirls) and his team takes the basic story and tweaks it here and there. Belle (Emma Watson) is more assertive, teaching girls in her small village to read, while the neighbors express their disapproval. When her father (Kevin Kline) gets taken prisoner by the Beast (Dan Stevens), she agrees to take his place, but immediately starts working on her escape. So how do you get your leading lady to fall in love with her captor without sending a disturbing message to young viewers? In this version Belle and the Beast bond gradually
the African-American organization, the Circle City Chapter of the Links, to present a screen-
through books. Some of the best scenes in the movie involve them discussing books. He’s still holding her captive, mind you, but we get to watch the relationship evolve into something less Stockholm Syndromey. Speaking of messages, much has been made of a brief scene Bill Condon described as “a gay moment.” Lefou (Josh Gad) is the comic relief assistant to Gaston (Luke Evans), a village creep who wants to nail Belle, fawning over his swaggering boss throughout the film. In a big formal dance scene at the end of the story, Lefou accidentally ends up dancing with another guy for a second. Lefou looks startled but not unhappy. End of scene. Thus endeth the great “gay moment” in Beauty ‘17. The only thing I found disturbing was that Lefou is portrayed sympathetically even after he helps Gaston tie up Belle’s father and leave him in the forest where they know ravenous wolves are nearby. Back in the village, Lefou suggests that it might be better to not let the man die, but when Gaston waves him off, Lefou drops the subject. Creepy. Wondering why I’m talking about trivialities involving secondary characters? It’s because the movie didn’t grab me. I admired the craft, certainly, and I grew to care about the fates of Belle and the Beast, but the movie failed to sweep me away. The songs from the original still work. The

new ones didn’t stand out on first listen. A storyline concerning Belle’s longing to know the fate of her mother feels like padding. When a big part of your target audience is children, padding your movie slightly past the two hour point is not a good idea. Taking the talking candelabra (voice of Ewan McGregor), harpsichord (Stanley Tucci), mantel clock (Ian McKellen), and teapot (Emma Thompson) and rendering them as realistically as CGI allows has disappointing results. The reflected lighting on each of the characters makes it difficult to visually decipher the faces; once you do, you realize the faces are far less expressive than the ones in the original. Why? Because inanimate objects given personalities is a notion that works in our imaginations and in cartoons. Cartoons, darn it, not mostly-live-action. My, what a grumpy review. That’s what happens when you stay up into the wee hours watching a movie that reminds you that it’s mostly-live-action remake is clunky, not magical enough, and unnecessary. The new Beauty and the Beast is harmless and watchable. It has some good moments. And it is UNNECESSARY. N
to May 14. Created by more than 500 students from 20 cities across the country, the traveling exhibit presents several chapters in the country’s long, dark history of mass incarceration. For their area of the exhibit, IUPUI students focus on the question, “Why are prisons the nation’s mental hospitals?” Elizabeth Kryder-Reid, a professor of anthropology and museum studies at IUPUI, believes the upcoming screening of 13th will spark a lively discussion of these issues. As 13th points out, prejudice and corruption cast a shadow over the American justice system. Mass incarceration is firmly rooted in racism. “The pivot we all need to make is to start thinking of this not simply as a legal or political issue but as a moral issue,” Kryder-Reid says. “It’s about our understanding of human rights. The current state of incarceration is telling testimony that we’re not living up to our potential. Many people think prisons are simply places where bad people go to be punished. 13th will help them understand the complexities and enduring inequalities that have framed our social justice system.” — SAM WATERMEIER For the full story go to nuvo.net

10 St. Patrick’s Day celebrations around Indy BY CAVAN McGINSIE // CMCGINSIE@NUVO.NET
W
hether you’re of Irish heritage or not, St Paddy’s is always a perfect reason to celebrate with friends and strangers alike. We’ve made your Friday plans for you already: Go to one of these places, order a shot of Tullamore (and then maybe another) and grab yourself some corned beef and cabbage. Follow up with a Guinness, or Ring of Dingle — and keep it local if you can. By this point you’ll be ready to do an Irish jig, and that draft under your kilt will be feeling mighty nice. 1 // ACLU of Indiana St. Patrick’s Day Bar Crawl, March 17, 3-7 p.m., $10, 21+ Spend the afternoon in Fountain Square and Fletcher Place drinking and feel good about it by knowing a portion of your proceeds benefit the ACLU of Indiana. Some of Indy’s most popular bars and restaurants are participating, including: Thunderbird, Pioneer, Rook, Fountain Square Brewery, Hotel Tango, La Margarita, Marrow, and Bluebeard. 2 // Big Woods St. Patrick’s Day Rally in the Alley (Nashville, Ind), March 17, 2:30 p.m. - midnight, $15, 21+ If you’re looking to get out of town for a full St. Paddy’s weekend celebration, Nashville might be just the place to go and Big Woods is where you should start. There will be plenty of cocktails, wine and local beer, including Big Woods’ own line of beers, Quaff On! Spend the afternoon drinking and listening to five musical acts including Electric Mob, Irish Aires and Split Rail.
3 // Brockway Public House St. Patrick’s Day Tent Party, March 17 & 18, 8 a.m. - 3 a.m. (both days), FREE entry, 21+ Start your day right with Kegs and Eggs at this Dublin-inspired pub on Indy’s Northside. The party goes all day with events like a pumper pull and a keg toss and shows from bagpipers, My Yellow Rickshaw. For those who love all things Irish there will be plenty of fish and chips, corned beef and cabbage and a limited edition Danny Boy Beer — oh, and Guinness. Lots of Guinness. While the event is free, you can pay $2 for a wristband and get some swag and entered for prizes, all wristband proceeds go to the Carmel Fire Department. 4 // The District Tap’s Beer, Bracket and Blarney Bash, March 17 & 18, noon (both days), $10/day, 21+ This two day event is celebrating three great things: college basketball, Ireland and brews. There will be 60 beers on tap to choose from, as well as college basketball games on the dozens of TVs throughout the place. Outside in the heated party tent you’ll be able to enjoy your libations and live music from Jai Baker Band, Living Proof, Popparazzi and more. 5 // Four Day Ray’s Firkin St. Patrick’s Day, March 17 & 18, Noon – Midnight (both days), $10/day, 21+ For those who don’t know what the firk a firkin is, it’s a type of keg used for cask-conditioning beer. So, spend two days partying at the new Hamilton Country brewery

8 // Jiffy Lube’s Blarney Bash, March 17, 11 a.m. - 10 p.m., all-ages, $7 A huge party on Georgia Street featuring tons of food vendors, green beer and of course, live music. The bash will go throughout the day and music will be performed by The Late Show, The Doo and My Yellow Rickshaw.
6 // McGinley’s Golden Ace Inn Tent Party, March 17, 10:30 a.m, 21+ Named one of the 10 Best places to party on St. Patrick’s Day in the nation by USA Today, this Irish pub has been going strong since 1934. The party will include three musical acts from Ireland including award-winning Eunan McIntyre and the beloved Irish bluegrass group JigJam. There will also be some of the best burgers you’ve ever had and plenty of Irish fare. Beer will be making appearances throughout the day, but no green beer. Don’t forget to bring cash, as it’s an old school joint and they keep it cash-only.
9 // Manley’s Irish Mutt Tent Party, March 17, 11 a.m., 21+, FREE One of the most popular Irish spots in Indy will host their annual tent party. This year will feature musical acts The Murat Highlander Pipes & Drums, Eunan McIntyre and Dog Bite Mike.

10 // The Rathskeller’s Irish Fest, March 17, noon – midnight, 21+, FREE But, but, but, it’s German! We know, but if there are two countries that are more similar in their affinity for drinking than Ireland and Germany, we can’t think of any. And we’re all Irish on St. Paddy’s. This place throws one of the biggest bashes in celebration of the late, great St. Pat; so grab a Warsteiner and take a break from all that Guinness and spend the day listening to live music from Woomblies, Zanna Doo and more.

rothers Griffin and Taylor Goldsmith have been performing together for over 20 years — except now when they play together in their band Dawes, it’s at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert or at Austin City Limits, not in their basement. Dawes has existed since 2009, but the Goldsmiths have sung together forever. On a phone call with Griffin last week, he mentioned the brothers have a video from when 5-year-old Griffin hadn’t even picked up drumsticks and before 10-year-old Taylor was writing albums that hit No. 1 on the U.S. folk charts. Griffin started playing drums and touring with his brother when he was in high school. “Once we got the van and [were] sleeping on hotel floors and playing to nobody, we were already in over our heads,” Griffin said. “We were doing stuff that we had always wanted to do. At that point we had never envisioned, like, ‘Let’s go play Bonnaroo.’ Every time we do something like that we are very appreciative and aware of how lucky we are.” That’s becoming more frequent. Earlier this month Dawes appeared on Colbert’s The Late Show, another night show appearance to add to their Letterman appearances, including one backing John Fogerty, and another time backing Robbie Robertson. Griffin says both brothers were influenced by The Band, especially by the spacious and rarely repetitive drumming of Levon Helm. He also had the opportunity to a session favorite drummer Jim Keltner. “That for me was one of the greatest memo-
WHAT // Dawes WHEN // March 19, 8 p.m. WHERE // The Vogue TICKETS // $25, 21+
ries I have personally, because he’s my favorite drummer ever,” Griffin said. “Just to get to bro out with him.” Dawes spent time with bands they looked up to as heroes. They served as Jackson Browne’s band for a show in Spain; which is fitting because the band found their musical roots in a mix of Stax records sound and folk rock, influenced by artists like Steely Dan, David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Allman Brothers. “I think that people often get into the specifications of, ‘What does this sound like?’ or ‘What’s this genre?’ which makes it relatable and makes it easier to get into,” Griffin says. “But I’ve always just thought [a Dawes’ show] was a rock show. That we were just carrying on traditions of bands like Allman Brothers, or at least trying to.” The band’s latest is called We’re All Gonna Die; it’s an album full of synth and dark humor. The album’s title comes from an eponymous song where the singer is told that none of his problems can be that bad because, well, we’re all gonna die. “What I personally like about it is how polarizing it could be,” Griffin said. “A lot of people said that it was dark and fucked up, or whatever it’s a bummer. Or there’s people, including myself, who just hear it and laugh. It’s just stating the self evident!” N

BANNED AT SXSW BY KYLE LONG // MUSIC@NUVO.NET
A
s South By Southwest continues in Austin this week, Bloomington-based global music PR firm Rock Paper Scissors joined forces with a handful of like-minded U.S. music organizations as a co-sponsor for ContraBanned: #MusicUnites. The showcase features music from nations targeted in Donald Trump’s executive order travel ban. The roster of artists featured on the ContraBanned bill represent a diverse array of musical styles. Indiana music fans will be pleased to see the inclusion of the brilliant Iraqi-American multi-instrumentalist Dena El Saffar, best known locally as the leader of Bloomington’s Salaam. Other notable ContraBanned performers include the legendary Iranian
singer-songwriter Mohsen Namjoo, Somali-Canadian pop duo Faarrow, Sudanese hip-hop artist Emmanuel Jal, and the Iranian electronic music producer/composer Ash Koosha among many others. Rock Paper Scissor’s Tristra Newyear Yeager gave insight into ContraBanned and how Trump’s travel ban might affect the music scene here in the states. KYLE LONG: Aside from all of the troubling humanitarian concerns, I would imagine Trump’s travel ban will also have serious ramifications on the work Rock Paper Scissors is doing here in Indiana. How is the travel ban affecting your ability to do your job?
NUVO.NET/MUSIC TRISTRA: That’s a really great question. There have been some statistics and reports that have just come out demonstrating how the travel ban has had a chilling effect on people considering the United States as a business or travel destination. I think it’s important to remember that artists are business people as well as crazy creative souls that inspire us. So, when you’re an artist looking at a business plan, and you see that a particular country has a lot of uncertainty, and perhaps additional expenses, and perhaps extreme inconveniences like being detained — and even if you’re detained for just a few hours that can make a big difference if you miss a flight and have to buy a new one that adds thousands of dollars in expenses — taking all that in consideration you get a general feeling of, “Why bother?” The U.S. is almost always a loss-making market for many international artists
who are not huge pop stars. When you add up the transport and visa fees, a fivepiece band coming to the U.S. can start out with a $10,000 deficit going into a tour, and that was prior to these changes. These bans really add a burden of expense to artists. So, the thought of coming here is less attractive. Therefore we are kind of looking at this situation and thinking we’re not going to see as many international artists who are going to be willing to come to the States. There have been a lot of reports in the international press about folks coming into the U.S. from places that are not on the list of six restricted countries who are being detained — even with valid visas. That’s a very disturbing thing to hear as an artist who perhaps prizes his or her ability to speak freely and move within legal channels to promote their work. So I think we’re looking at a very sad time where there’s going to be a lot of restrictions on what U.S. audiences get to hear. N

ARIES (March 21-April 19): The more unselfish and compassionate you are in the coming weeks, the more likely it is you will get exactly what you need. Here are four ways that can be true: 1. If you’re kind to people, they will want to be kind to you in return. 2. Taking good care of others will bolster their ability to take good care of you. 3. If you’re less obsessed with I-me-mine, you will magically dissolve psychic blocks that have prevented certain folks from giving you all they are inclined to give you. 4. Attending to others’ healing will teach you valuable lessons in how to heal yourself — and how to get the healing you yearn for from others. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): I hope you will consider buying yourself some early birthday presents. The celebration is weeks away, but you need some prodding, instigative energy now. It’s crucial that you bring a dose of the starting-fresh spirit into the ripening projects you’re working on. Your mood might get overly cautious and serious unless you infuse it with the spunk of an excited beginner. Of course only you know what gifts would provide you with the best impetus, but here are suggestions to stimulate your imagination: a young cactus; a jack-in-the-box; a rock with the word “sprout” written on it; a decorated marble egg; a fox mask; a Photoshopped image of you flying through the air like a superhero.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Many Geminis verbalize profusely and acrobatically. They enjoy turning their thoughts into speech, and love to keep social situations lively with the power of their agile tongues. Aquarians and Sagittarians may rival your tribe for the title of The Zodiac’s Best Bullshitters, but I think you’re in the top spot. Having heaped that praise on you, however, I must note that your words don’t always have as much influence as they have entertainment value. You sometimes impress people more than you impact them. But here’s the good news: In the coming weeks, that could change. I suspect your fluency will carry a lot of clout. Your communication skills could sway the course of local history.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Your world is more spacious than it has been in a long time. Congrats! I love the way you have been pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and into the wilder frontier. For your next trick, here’s my suggestion: Anticipate the parts of you that may be inclined to close down again when you don’t feel as brave and free as you do now. Then gently clamp open those very parts. If you calm your fears before they break out, maybe they won’t break out at all.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): I expect you will get more than your usual share of both sweetness and tartness in the coming days. Sometimes one or the other will be the predominant mode, but on occasion they will converge to deliver a complex brew of WOW!-meets-WTF! Imagine chunks of sour apples in your vanilla fudge ripple ice cream. Given this state of affairs, there’s no good reason for you to be blandly kind or boringly polite. Use a saucy attitude to convey your thoughtfulness. Be as provocative as you are tender. Don’t just be nice — be impishly and subversively nice. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): “I want to gather your darkness in my hands, to cup it like water and drink.” So says Jane Hirshfield in her poem “To Drink.” I bet she was addressing a Scorpio. Does any other sign of the zodiac possess a sweet darkness that’s as delicious and gratifying as yours? Yes, it’s true that you also harbor an unappetizing pocket of darkness, just like everyone else. But that sweet kind -the ambrosial, enigmatic, exhilarating stuff -- is not only safe to imbibe, but can also be downright healing. In the coming days, I hope you’ll share it generously with worthy recipients. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Saturn has been in your sign steadily since September 2015, and will continue to be there until December 2017. Some traditional astrologers might say you are in a phase of downsizing and self-restraint. They’d encourage you to be extra strict and serious and dutiful. To them, the ringed planet is an exacting taskmaster. There are some grains of truth in this perspective, but I like to emphasize a different tack. I say that if you cooperate with the rigors of Saturn, you’ll be inspired to become more focused and decisive and disciplined as you shed any flighty or reckless tendencies you might have. Yes, Saturn can be adversarial if you ignore its commands to be faithful to your best dreams. But if you respond gamely, it will be your staunch ally. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Born in the African nation of Burkina Faso, Malidoma Somé is a teacher who writes books and offers workshops to Westerners interested in the spiritual traditions of his tribe. In his native Dagaare language, his first name means “he who befriends the stranger/enemy.” I propose that we make you an honorary “Malidoma” for the next three weeks. It will be a favorable time to forge connections, broker truces, and initiate collaborations with influences you have previous considered foreign or alien.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): I like rowdy, extravagant longing as much as anyone. I enjoy being possessed by a heedless greed for too much of everything that feels rapturous: delectable food, mysterious sex, engrossing information, liberating intoxication, and surprising conversations that keep me guessing and improvising for hours. But I am also a devotee of simple, sweet longing . . . pure, watchful, patient longing . . . open-hearted longing that brims with innocence and curiosity and is driven as much by the urge to bless as to be blessed. That’s the kind I recommend you explore and experiment with in the coming days.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): EVERY relationship has problems. No exceptions. In the beginning, all may be calm and bright, but eventually cracks will appear. Here’s the corollary to that rule: EVERY partner is imperfect. Regardless of how cool, kind, attractive, or smart they may seem in the early stages, they will eventually unveil their unique flaws and troubles. Does this mean that all togetherness is doomed? That it’s forever impossible to create satisfying unions? The answer is HELL, NO! — especially if you keep the following principles in mind: Choose a partner whose problems are: 1. interesting; 2. tolerable; 3. useful in prodding you to grow; 4. all of the above.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know that forbidden fruit you’ve had your eyes on? Maybe it isn’t so forbidden any more. It could even be evolving toward a state where it will be both freely available and downright healthy for you to pluck. But there’s also a possibility that it’s simply a little less risky than it was before. And it may never become a fully viable option. So here’s my advice: Don’t grab and bite into that forbidden fruit yet. Keep monitoring the situation. Be especially attentive to the following questions: Do you crave the forbidden fruit because it would help you flee a dilemma you haven’t mustered the courage to escape from? Or because it would truly be good for you to partake of the forbidden fruit?
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Would you like some free healing that’s in alignment with cosmic rhythms? Try this experiment. Imagine that you’re planning to write your autobiography. Create an outline that has six chapters. Each of the first three chapters will be about a past experience that helped make you who you are. In each of the last three chapters, you will describe a desirable event that you want to create in the future. I also encourage you to come up with a boisterous title for your tale. Don’t settle for My Life So Far or The Story of My Journey. Make it idiosyncratic and colorful, perhaps even outlandish, like Piscean author Dave Eggers’ A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.
